Is this too girly for boys room?

I'm looking for a trundle for DS's big boy room and found this one on CL for a great price.  We plan on painting it blue(baseball themed room), be honest, does it look too girly?

Mother of a boy here ---- yes, I think it does. If the top were square I'd like it more.

I think if you cut the balls off (ouch) and painted it blue it would look good for a boy's room.

AS long as you are painting it blue (a medium to dark blue), I think it will be fine. IMO, all white furniture is feminine. I don't really have an issue with the round knobs, but f you are doing a baseball theme, maybe you can pint them like baseballs if you're worried?

Not too girly at all, IMO, even in white. (Also mom of a boy.)

no. it looks gender-neutral to me.

paint the balls like baseballs or basketballs or something if you're worried.

Love, love LOVE the ideas about painting the balls like baseballs!  I'm anxiously waiting to hear back from the seller, fingers crossed I'm the big winner!!!

Not at all (also a mother of a boy).  But I wouldn't paint it.  I like it being white.  It will be more versatile and you can keep it even if you decide to change the room later.

 

This exactly. I have two boys and would not even think twice about it. I am not even sure why people think it's girly...

I think it's very gender neutral.

Boo,  I'm still waiting (impatiently) to hear back from the seller - a major drawback of CL when you're as impatient as I am.

I don't think so. Maybe a little for an older/teen boy, but for a little boy? No problem. And I think it would great painted navy blue!

Oh, I know!  Then once they sell it, they leave the listing up and don't reply to your email. It is really annoying!

Double boo, someone else must've got it since the ad is down and I never got a reply :-(  Guess it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks for your opinions!

I don't think it has feminine qualities at all. I think if you did a navy blue it would look great in a baseball themed room.

I think if you paint it, it would be fine.
